The ln utility creates a new directory entry (linked file) which has the same modes
as the original file. It is useful for maintaining multiple copies of a file in many
places at once without using up storage for the copies. Instead, a link “points to” the
original copy. There are two types of links: hard links and symbolic links. How a link
“points to” a file is one of the differences between a hard or symbolic link.
